Music Generation: stories and impact

Music Generation Laois hosted its third annual Tionól weekend from 2-4 November 2018, where generations of young and professional musicians across Ireland gathered for a celebration of the Harp and Uilleann Pipes.

Nós Nua - Louth Youth Folk Orchestra, a partnership programme between Music Generation Louth and the Oriel Centre, Dundalk, performed a 'Fleadh Mob' to unsuspecting audiences on the steps of St. Peter's Church, Drogheda.

In 2012 Music Generation Louth formed a pilot strings programme to create an opportunity for younger strings musicians in the county to play as part of a group. Through a series of interviews with participants and tutors we chart how the programme has evolved to become one of Louth’s flagship ensembles.
